I have carved wood professionally for 35 years, having begun my career in
Northern Michigan creating hand-carved wooden signs for villages,
businesses and private residences. At that time, I also carved for the
furniture industry. I then started carving sculpture that ended up in
five foreign countries, as well as all over the United States. In 1988,
I designed a line of ceramic jewelry that sold in galleries and fine
stores, including Disneyland. The ceramic line was expanded to include
limited edition sculpture.

I have now returned to wood by creating a series of woodcuts, also know as woodblock prints,
which incorporates my love of carving, design and painting. The design
is transferred to a block of wood which I then carve. When the carving
is completed, I pull the print through my press and color each print by
hand.The woodcut is complete.

I try to create work that includes harmony, balance and rhythm to result
in a woodcut print that "sings". I love to express the beauty, fun and irony of
life so that the world is a little more beautiful, funny and ironic.
